import os, json
from ytmusicapi import YTMusic

conf_file = os.path.dirname(__file__)+'/headers_auth.json'

result = ytmusic.get_artist('UCBQZwaNPFfJ1gZ1fLZpAEGw')

Not quite sure, for me it doesn't have a videos section. I see Albums, Singles, Featured On and Fans Might Also Like. Can you post a screenshot of your page?

It shows the same sections even if I'm not logged in. Its weird, perhaps it's some stupid region restriction, but why then python script on my PC see it differently?

It might be related to the GL variable configured in context.json. Can you please check your request in browser and report what is used for the GL variable? It should be there in the network tab of your browser under request details.

I have gl: UA I tried to change gl in context.json, but it doesn't affect the output, it stays the same. But copying json from browser into context.json solved issue! I found a line, which did the trick, it's "browseId": "UCnX0L9QiftAcWdzeBx31xCw" at json top level.

I don't think it's the browseId, that is being set by ytmusicapi as well. Can you post your full context.json here?

Oops, i just figured out, that UCnX0L9QiftAcWdzeBx31xCw and UCBQZwaNPFfJ1gZ1fLZpAEGw are two different pages for the same artist and first have videos, while second don't. Don't know whats happening :)

Yes, seems to be a server-side duplicate. Can we consider this issue resolved?

Yes, thank you. For your information, first one is Twenty One Pilots - Topic channel on youtube, second is their official channel, and seems like it should be the same for other artists, which have official youtube channels. They have both the same browseId's for albums, so no luck for me here about getting music videos)
